" Remember Buell? That Harley-Davidson subsidiary? That one that went under in 2009? That bit is unfortunate because Buell made great, good-handling, and beautifully engineered bikes that had the misfortune of being sold in the same real estate as the chrome- and leather-festooned\u00A0Harleys. Imagine if Fiat-Chrysler tried to sell the Alfa Romeo 4C at RAM truck dealerships and you&amp;#039;ve got a good approximation. Mr. Regular takes a break from his usual four-wheeled outings to bring\u00A0us his views on a 2006 Buell Ulysses XB12x. And the problem isn&amp;#039;t Buell. It&amp;#039;s the fact that Buell was owned by Harley-Davidson, and that brought all kinds of expectations with it. See, the phrase\u00A0&amp;quot;built by Harley,&amp;quot; came with a\u00A0horizon of expectation that included something that was\u00A0heavy on the leathers and reflective in the sunlight\u2014something that was different than a fun and good-handling motorcycle that made the most of its &amp;quot;big, lopey American engine.&amp;quot; Buells\u00A0could be used as daily riders, which is exactly what people did. Well, a few people. Most other people didn&amp;#039;t understand what a Buell was meant to be, which\u2014along with copious mismanagement from Harley\u2014was the company&amp;#039;s ultimate downfall.
